SteamVR

Hi, I don't have any VR equipment, nor have I opted in to anything VR-related but every day at least once or twice I get an error pop up on my windows desktop telling me vrserver.exe has stopped working.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest, I just tracked it to Steam and thought I should report it.

I have Windows 8.1 x64, it was a Windows 8 clean install that updated to 8.1 when it was released. I have had Steam installed for the better part of a year and it is always updated to the latest. I haven't opted in to any Steam betas, I haven't used or loaded anything to do with Oculus or VR, I don't use Big Picture (sp?) but I have ran it once or twice in the past.

If this is a known thing then disregard this thread, as I said it doesn't bother me at all, but if I can help iron out any bugs I'm glad to help.

If any 'techheads' require a crash dump or hardware report just tell me what to do and where to send it :)

I too have this problem on Windows 7 64-bit. I've had a look at it in Process Explorer and I've noticed that the vrserver process is constantly being restarted, as is a conhost process. On my computer, conhost is the one with high CPU usage rather than vrserver. I can't confirm the USB mouse issue at the moment, but the process restarts have stopped since I unplugged my mouse this morning.

Yep. Same problems here. It's kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me off coz it switches screens from dota or tf2, and I usually die when it does.

Opposite of mine. When my mouse is out, I keep getting these messages, no matter if it's in or out. And I've tried with bost my USB and my wireless. No differece.

I've got the exact same problem and I haven't found a way to solve this yet. This is the most annoying thing ever as sometimes I'm a day without going on my computer to find 3 dozen notifications saying vrserver.exe has stopped working.

Alright, so I'm going to try something and see if it works, I renamed vrserver.exe to vrserver.exe.bak and I'll see if it fixes it, screws steam up, all of the above or nothing happens... Will report back with results :)
